SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Amongst the various devices to which the Tories have bad recourse in order to destroy the influence of the Irish priesthood, we wonder they did not sooner think of setting the Times to praise them. Had the readers of that versa tile print been less accustomed to its daily pranks, how they must have stared on Saturday morning to find themselves reading of "an able, well-informed, independent Roman Catholic priest !" nay, " an enlightened" (in our Contem porary's own emphatic italics), "an enlightened Roman Catholic clergyman" (it is quite refreshing to transcribe this courteous phraseology)," a reasonable being," " an up right and conscientious writer." Here is a specimen of ecclesiastical zoology! the species vouched for, too, by so eminent a naturalist as the Times ! Priest though he be, the subject of this eulogy may for once deplore the inter vention of the Sabbath, which has fixed him for two days, instead of one, in the pillory of Printing-house square. Justice, however, will no doubt be speedily done to his character. This very day perhaps (un less Mr. O'Malley be more unfortunate than nine tenths of his fellow sufferers from the same cause) he will again take his place amongst " the ignorant savages" and " surpliced ruffians" from amongst whom he seems to have been so undeservedly singled out. As a matter of curiosity it may be worth while to hear our Con temporary's reason for his hostility to " the Romish priest hood of Ireland." "'lt is not without unfeigned repug nance," he tells us, " that we have felt ourselves compelled, by facts of the most provoking and daring nature, to ge neralise our animadversions upon the Romish priesthood of Ireland. If through influence or intimidation the Roman Catholic Clergy, who had no political or fanatical sym pathy with John of Tuam, were wrought upon to conceal their dislike of his incendiarism, we may and do for their sakes lament their feebleness ; but we cannot justly take the blame of it upon our own conscience." Now, consider ing the capacity of "our own conscience," the refusal seems unreasonable. But let that pass. The " Romish priesthood of Ireland" now see the terms upon which they may purchase immunity from the animadversions of the Times. Let them only undertake to do our Contemporary's business—let them set to blackguarding each other, and save the Times the trouble of "generalising its animadversions"—let Bishop Murray set up as a rival of John of Tuam, and show that turbulent Ecclesiastic " that he dislikes his incendiarism"—let the whole island be di vided into hostile dioceses, and the Times will no longer " generalise its animadversions." This is surely considerate ; and should the Romish priesthood, refusing to take advan tage of the offer, find themselves excluded from the benefit of Saturday's amnesty, the Times, at least, " cannot justly take the blame of it upon his own conscience." The prin ciple upon which the Times " generalises its animadver sions"is eminently characteristic. Of the whole priesthood of Ireland, one man, a bold and thoughtless zealot, has opened an active campaign, preaching and writing against the new system of education. In his opposition Dr. M'Hale is known to be alone amongst the order of Clergy to which he belongs ; and yet from this solitary instance a general conclusion is formed as to the feelings and princi ples of the whole priesthood of Ireland. How would the Clergy of England, or the Bench of Bishops, like this sys tem of generalising, Bishop Philpotts being the excep tion whose conduct was to be adopted as the rule ? Morning Chronicle. There are various destinies which may befall Lord Dur ham's person, no one of which would involve any conse quences of more than trivial, or at worst but transitory, moment to the British nation. That he states in one breath his entire satisfaction at the time of entering on his official duties with the fulness of the powers vested in him by Parliament to meet whatever emergencies might arise by reason of their amounting to an absolute " despotism," and in the next breath admits his consciousness of their total inadequacy to answer the very first crisis wherein ite finds himself—viz, the alleged necessity of providing for the imprisonment of traitors in the island of Bermuda, to which, by his own ordinance, he had transported them—such self-contradictions, whatever light they may throw upon the genius and character of Lord Durham, or however they may help to decide his reception at home and sub sequent position in the political world, cannot operate very widely or very durably upon the British Empire. Whatever petulance or mortified vanity the Noble Lord may have exhibited on the late occasion—what ever disregard of his duty to the Crown of England, as a functionary to whom no small portion of its authority had been delegated, and to whose discretion some of the gravest interests of the realm had been intrusted—whatever auda city, assumption of privilege, and indecency of anger be may have indulged in, when he appealed to a rebel com munity for the sanction and encouragement of measures which lead been condemned by the Imperial Parliament and the Sovereign state of which he was the subject, such things can have an extensive and lasting influence upon nobody but the Earl of Durham. The seeds of disaster were sown thick enough before he penned a line of his re cent manifesto, and would, if the unanimous tenour of the private accounts from Canada be correct, have borne deadly fruit before the expiration of the coming winter, had the in cendiary document never seen the light, and had its author been ever so tenacious of that post, of which the danger had, it is probable, been calculated by his Lordship more cau tiously and successfully than any other of its attributes. This winter was represented by all who wrote home upon the subject, as likely to bring with it a revival of the worst scenes of November and December, 1837. We do not say to what extent, or in what manner, the Administra tion of Lord Durham, from his first arrival in the St. Law rence, may have helped to engender such unhappy pros pects. The Noble Lord is bepraised by some weekly spe culators, whose mask of neutrality as between parties seems no ill-contrived cover for a philosophical indifference to the contingency of practical good or evil in the application of principles—his Lordship, we say, is praised by such people for having broached in his manifesto many " enlarged views of reform." We confess this word " enlarged" ap pears to us in the present case of somewhat suspicious jus tice. Most objects look " large" in a fog, and to our vision dimness, vagueness, and scattered looseness of suggestion decorated, but not defined or verified, by a dressed up and showy phraseology, are rx.ore exact characteris tics of Lord Durham's colonial programme than the tattering epithet applied to it by the otherwise caustic commentator on the Noble Earl. However, such views, or visions, be they " large" or luminous, had, somehow or other, got whispered about amongst the French Canadians, and the result was, that so little do that race, for whose " elevation to the high level of British subjects" Lord Durham's mighty schemes were instituted, appear to have been charmed towards Lord Durham, by all those vast and magnificent inuendocs, that not a single French inhabitant of Lower Canada came forward to ex press a monosyllable of regret at the ill-treatment of the Noble Lord, and his consequent departure from the pro vince, whilst in a body the most active of them bearded the incensed and by that time undeceived Autocrat in his den, meeting at the gates of Quebec to thank Lord Brougham for the riddance thus afforded them. What ever, therefore, may have been the designs of Lord Durham, and whatever his boastings—and of the latter, truly, we have seen too much—it is plain that he accomplished absolutely nothing ; that he left the seat of his (null) Administration in a state more embroiled, more clouded, and more threatening, than that wherein he found it ; and that against the non-ad vancement of the Canadians towards any conceivable good *here is nothing to set but the retrocession of Lord Dur ham himself in the esteem of the whole political world, which is a matter of little political moment in a man who had at best but a partial and hypothetical repute. There is, how ever, something which may have an influence, and a fatal one, upon the future condition of the North American co lonies, and on their existence as colonies under any form whatsoever. That something is the force or w ea k ness , the wisdom or folly, o f e provision n ow ma d e by the Queen's Ministers to fill t h e b reac h i n our colonial) Government made by the entire failure of Lord Dur ham's experimental mission, and by his surrender of the trust. If the Noble Lord, in whom were concen trated all the powers of civil government, such as they we re, and who boasted in a threatening manner t h at h e would not resign those powers save only into the hands of the Sovereign from whom " alone" he affected to say that he had received them—if that Noble Lord was appointed to the government of North America in a mode and under circumstances which proclaimed to the country that such an unusual nomination was unavoidable —that there were purposes to be fulfilled —that there were authorities to be exercised —that there were diseases to be cur e d— t h at there were calamities t o be averted —that in fine there were changes to be realised --all which a man like Sir John Colborne was incapable of performing, which could be completed only b y such an eminent undertaker as Lord Durham ; and, moreover, that the emergency was so pressing and so critical as early in last April toadmao fnotcaotanloguehoe of ur's delay ;—if, again, in addi tion to the preceding difficulties at the former period so urgent, thefrethisethmeefur ther one of a recorded a nd entire failure o then resorted to for a supply of the ernergencioy,rernzgo hutsnatcrognlrhas. ago so pressing, can any ma n dis p ute the er vation of embarrassment and peril in whichtli deal ee a m l p ls i ,o re rse mu o s ff t now be placed, when we are actually a g reat than if the high commission had never been conferred upon Lord Durham, and if the Government a nd Parliament had all last winter sat with folded arms, and moved not a single step towards a provision for the then existing crisis, a crisis which has had no solution since, but has been growing every hour more frightful ? If not a day was to be lost last winter, without the express, laborious, and decisive inter ference of Parliament for the application of some strong remedial or preventive measure to the crying mischiefs which pervaded our Canadian provinces, and if those mis chiefs have not to the present hour been redressed or THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1606. mitigated, what says common sense ? Are we justified in losing- a single moment now ? Ooght the Queen's Minis ters to leave Sir J. Colborne for 24 hours without authority as ample as the Crown of England can confer for over taking the evils which have passed on untouched by Lord Durham ? If Parliament last year was called into action for the purpose, we must presume, that Ministers at least, whatever others may have thought (and ourselves among them), must have deemed such legislative interposition un avoidable, we ask, therefore, upon their own showing, and on their own declared principles, of last year's growth, why is Parliament left idle nowt What pretence have they, the Ministers, for shifting their course of policy then adopted to one diametrically opposite, and in the face of accumu lated exigencies ? If the Queen's advisers do not summon Parliament to meet instanter, in November, 1838, for objects which in January, 1838, were represented by them to be of the most imminent and alarming urgency, but which are even yet undisposed of, what will or can be said of the noise and fuss in which they then involved the country, but that they found it expedient for themselves at that time to get up a farce,:with scenery and machinery, as a pretext for sending Lord Durham across the Atlantic ; but that no such fabrication being now practicable, and Lord Durham having played his part so foolishly as to de prive himself of all power of stinging for the future, they are content to let things take their natural course ; and Sir J. Colborne, with his calm temper, his iron nerve, and ex perienced judgment, to maintain the Queen's laws, by the Queen's troops and loyal subjects, and to reclaim rebels by means more effective than the impotent pedantry of a six weeks' excursion to the island of Bermuda and back again ! Either the Ministers are imbecile blockheads now, or last February, March, and April they were consummate impostors.—Times. The weekly journal which has taken upon itself to deny that Lord Melbourne did not recommend Mr. Turton to Lord Durham as his legal adviser, does not venture to make that denial upow the authority of either one or the other of the principal parties concerned. Besides, it might be true that Lord Melbourne did not recommend Mr, Turton as legal adviser, and yet if he recommended him to fill any other capacity under Lord Durham's Government, the charge urged by the Montreal Heald, against her Ma jesty's Prime Minister will be established by proof of that fact—so miserable a quibble cannot save him But we neither prejudge that charge, nor the other advanced by the Oxford Herald, that Lord Melbourne had written to ap• prove of all Lord Durham's acts, even the transportation of the prisoners to the Bermudas. We wait for the only satisfactory evidence that can be given, and which, if con tained in Lord Durham's " trunk," might easily account for the terror which it inspired in Downing-street and Windsor Castle.—Morning Herald.

The Tories are peculiarly anxious to impress upon the public mind most erroneous notions as to the estimation in which Toryism is held by the people of this country. If a paltry crain upon the registration of one constituency can be na m ed , "the Tory Press proclaims it to the world as a triumph of im mense importance, and, by the aid of those inventive and magnifying powers so peculiarly Tory, units become thou sands, mole-hills are transformed into mountains. The Times and Standard print lists of numbers manufactured for their express consumption, and for the appetites of their Tory readers, day by day ; and at the end of the month out comes a manifesto of Tory success, in which are comprised all the lying accounts copied from the aforesaid veracious Journals ; and this manifesto, thus concocted, and derived from their own columns, is again put forth by them, under the authority of Fraser. • . .• _ . We settled the question of Tory gain upon the registration of the Parliamentary constituency, as put forth by Fraser some days back, and proved that, so far from a gain, the Tories have had the worst of the registration of this year. And for the still further elucidation of the important question, whether Toryism is gaining or losing in public esteem, we now present a return, as complete as we can procure it, of the municipal elections throughout England and Wales. These, let it be remembered, are elections, not registrations ; they are public declarations of sentiment, not calculations upon probable opinions ; they are, moreover, the declarations of more nume rous bodies than the Parliamentary electors, and comprise that class which the Tories have, for the last few years, been so anxious to win over to them—the operatives of Great Britain. And yet upon this extended basis of public opinion the Tories have most signally failed ; they have been left in a minority, and the Liberal party has achieved an important victory. There are, in England and Wales, 136 parliamentary boroughs, which are included is the Municipal Reform Act of 1835. A certain number of the Councillors for these boroughs are chosen on the Ist of November in each year, and the state of public opinion in those towns may thus be pretty correctly ascertained. The following list will show the num ber to be chosen in each town, with the number of each party actually elected; and by the column of Parliamentary repre sentation annexed to each the probable effect may be pre sumed:— _ Number Return.

The total number of councillors to be elected in these boroughs was 395 ; of whom 341 Reformers have been chosen and 54 Tories. In the following boroughs the numbers of each party re turned were equal:— Parliament. Rep. Tory. Lib. Beverley Bewdley 0 ... 1 Dover 1 .. 1 Hastings 1 ... 1 Newport 0 ... 2 Rochester 0 ... 2 Parliament. Rep, Tory. Lib. Weymouth .. 2 ... 0 Winchester 1 ... 1 Windsor 0 ... 2 Bodmin Chippenham Bath Out of these two lists of contested boroughs 27 are repre sented entirely by Liberals, 16 by Tories, and 24 are equally divided; and it is worthy of remark that the gain to the Libe rals has been the greatest in those places in which the Tories could least afford to lose strength. There are a large number of the municipal boroughs in which no contest took place, and in which the retiring Mem. bers were quietly re-elected ; it is scarcely fair to instance these as gains to the Liberal party, and yet we could add many to our list if we were to enumerate them. It is suffi cient to know that upon the contests of this year's municipal elections a decided advantage has been gained over the Tories, and the few places, comparatively, in which the Tories have succeeded form an insignificant minority. Bristol and Leeds are the only two places of importance in which the Tories were successful ; in Bristol, by preventing the revision of the burgess roll, they gained a majority of one, for ten Tory Councillors came out, and eleven went in; and in Leeds they gained a majority of four; but in neither Place is the composition of the Council changed, and therefore the results are not important, whilst the Tories well kno .v that, if the Bristol burgess roll had been revised, scarcely a Tory could have crept into this year's return. If we were to extend our list into boroughs Municipal, but not Parliamentary, the same results are apparent, and the dislike to Toryism equally evident. There are, indeed, few of the latter class in which the Tories have been able to show at all, and their loss upon the total returns is equally great with that upon the Parliamentary boroughs. Well may the Times and Standard warn the Tories not to be eager after office ; the state of the registrations, and the results of the Municipal elections, holdout small hopes for the longing Tories. They must wait on ; their boastings are vain, and equally vain are all their efforts ; and if the Liberal party do not play the game for their opponents, there is not the smallest chance for the Tories, either with the Parliamentary or Municipal con stituencies.

One of the most distinguished poets of the day, as the Presse relates, was dining a few days ago at a restaurant on the Boulevards, and called for a bottle of Bordeaux, pre miere qualite. The waiter, struck by the broad Marseillaise accent of the guest, and observing the threadbare condition of his coat, considered it necessary to remind him that this wine was marked in the carte at 10 francs a bottle. lieview to keep replied the poet, " I thoug ht it was 20 ; bri ng me ` Indeed I a ` couple ee I A song is now singing every night at the th eatre i n Boston,nated in N the e following England Yankee,c alledthe tr i c ‘ kS:t—ripwedithPtig" which ori i the lower orders sober, the Temperance Society at Mas sachussets have issued a law forbidding any one selling less than fifteen gallons of spirits.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COUR7', Nor. 10. BERNARD V. COMMERCIAL.ROAD RAILWAY COMPANY. Mr. K. BRUCE moved exparte for an injunction to restrain the Company from pulling down buildings or making excava tions upon the plaintiff's premises in Rosemary-lane, Minorios. A Jury had assessed the value of the premises, hut the convey ance was delayed in consequence of some difficulties in the title. Their Act enabled the Company, if they required im mediate possession, to pay the purchase-money into Court, and, upon payment, to take possession. But the Company in this instance had thought proper to take possession without preli minary payment, and they were about to commence their ope rations, which would, of course, destroy the plaintiff's property. The injunction was granted. COURT OF QUEENS BENCH, Nov. 10. THE QUEEN V. J. ATKINSON. Mr. STARKIE showed cause against a rule for a quo war ranto calling on the defendant to show by what authority he claimed to exercise the office 9f High Constable of a hundred of one of the Ridings of York. The defendant pleaded that he had been duly elected, and had been duly sworn in. A replication was put in denying the validity of the election, and on the issue thus raised the question now came before the Court. The question really to be decided was, whether an election and appointment by the Justices in Petty Session could confer the right to the office of High Constable, or whether what was done at a Petty Sessions was more than a mere nomination, subject to the approval or rejection of the Justices at Quarter Sessions. He (Mr. Starkie) meant to contend that the Justices at Petty Sessions might make the appointment, and that what they did was not tti-he taken as a mere nomination. Mr. STUART WORTLEY, in support of the rule for the quo warranto, said that the chief point on which he should contend that the rule must be made absolute was, that the power of the Sheriff's tourn had devolved, not on the Justices at Petty Ses sions, but on the Justices at large. It was, therefore, only when assembled in a body that the acts which were formerly done at the Sheriff's tourn could be done by the Justices. The reply could not be heard, as the Judges of this Court were obliged to meet their brethren in the Court of Exche quer Chamber on Crown cases reserved. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nor. 10.

It will be remembered that in this case, which was an ac tion of trespaas and assault, to which a justification was pleaded, the Court, in the course of the present Term, had refused a rule to show cause why the verdict should not be entered for the plaintiff with the contingent damages of 1001., which had been assessed by the Jury at the trial, on the ground that those contingent damages bad been assessed without the consent of both parties ; and, therefore, in law could not stand. The Court, however, had granted a rule for a new trial. Mr. NEWTON now applied to the Court to discharge that rule, on the ground that at the trial the dissent of the opposite party had not been expressed until after the case had been left to the Jury. The COURT had communicated with Mr. Baron Alderson, who tried the cause, on the subject, and he informed them that that dissent was expressed before the case was left to the Jury. Mr. NEWTON at the same time dissented very much from that direction to the Jury to assess contingent damages ; but when he expressed his dissent Mr. Baron Alderson threatened to commit him instantly to York gaol if he were not silent, and accordingly he left the Court. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—Then you both dissented, and now that assessment of 1001. is void. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW- STREET. On Saturday a shabbily dressed youth, who gave his name George Charytelupe, but who is also known by the alias names of Clayton, Coleman, and Connor, was placed at the bar before Mr. MiNsnuLL, charged with having absconded from his master, carrying with him a cash-box, containing 161. in notes and gold, and a great coat. The prisoner offered no defence, and was ordered to be committed conditionally, upon the production of a witness named Turner. HUNTING APPOINTMENTS.

It is intended to place in the Saffron Walden Mu seum a portrait of its principal founder, the late Jabez Gibson, funds having been voluntarily raised by the members of the Agricultural Society and other friends of the deceased, for this interesting purpose. The laudable ambition which dis tinguished that deeply regretted individual might entitle him to some more durable memorial of the affection of his fellow townsmen ; but he lives in the recollection of the many, and his public worth will be attested by the system of allotments, and various societies and institutions of great practical benefit, which be patronized or originated, for a long period to come. —Cambridge Chronicle. KENILWORTH.—On Wednesday evening last, a fire was discovered on a farm at Crackley, about a mile on this side Kenilworth, in the occupation of a Mr. Smith, which originated in some lime having slacked itself by the rain. The damage was confined to the two hovels, the pea stack, and part of the hay-rick. The property, we hear, was not insured. Coventry Herald. WEAVERS' STRIKE.—It will be recollected that at the end of August, two persons, named Enghall and Eng lish were apprehended, and, after several examinations, were committed to prison to take their trials at the Assizes, on a charge of breaking into the house of H. Wells and cutting work from his loom Application was made by Mr. I)) e, on behalf of the defendants, to be allowed to put in bail for their appearance, and after a long discussion before the Magistrates, it was stated by Captain Money that it was the unanimous opinion of all the Magistrates who heard the case not to admit the parties to b a il. In consequence of this decision, an appli cation was 'M a d e on behalf of Enghall and English to Mr. Justice Coltman, who granted a rule calling upon the Magis trates and prosecutor to show cause why the prisoners should not be admitted to bail. The rule was argued by Mr. Pren dergast for the prosecution, and Mr. Payne for the prisoners, when, after reading the dispositions taken by the Magistrates, and the affidavits filed on the pert of the prisoners, his Lord ship said in his judgment it was a case in which he ought not to interfere, and he therefore discharged the rule.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Thomas Gibbons, a miserable-looking object, on Saturday made this statement to Mr. CONANT. He was by trade a painter and a native of Woolwich. He had lived in Woolwich about twenty-six years, and had acquired an undoubted settlement in the place. About fourteen months ago he came to London in search of work, and he had remained until about a week ago, when, finding himself, wife, and family, in the last stage of destitution, he went to the parish officers of St. Giles's to ask relief. He was told to go to Woolwich, as that was his legal settlement. He walked down to Woolwich and saw Mr. Wates, the Relieving- Officer, who, according to his statement, knew him perfectly well, and who was aware that he was le gally intitled to relief from Woolwich. Mr. Wates told him it was useless applying fur relief unless he were passed to Woolwich by the parish-officers of St. Giles's, in whose parish he had last lived. He walked back to town and acquainted the St. Giles's officers with what had occurred. The parish-offi cers expressed their surprise at the conduct of Mr. Wates, and they advised the man to take his wife and family to Wool wich and sleep there, and there would be no pretext for with holding relief. On Wednesday the applicant took his family down to Woolwich and they slept there that night. Appli cant was again told that nothing would be done for him unless he were passed by the London parish; applicant walked up town again, saw the St. Giles's overseer, received a 41b. loaf, and was told that nothing further could be done for him ; applicant walked back to Woolwich, and went to the Rev. Mr. Greenlaw, and told him of the shocking state of distress in which his family and himself were : the Rev. Gentleman, who is one of the Board of Guardians, referred applicant to the relieving officer, Mr. Wates; applicant went to Mr. Wates, and sent in a message to the effect that his family were without food, and that he had been desired to ask for some relief by one of the Board of Guardians. Mr. Wates refused to see applicant, and sent out a message that nothing could be done until the following Thursday, which was the next board day. Applicant saw another of the Board of Guardians, a Mr. Webber, and related his story to him : this guardian told him he could know nothing about him unless he were regularly passed by the parish in which he had last lived. Applicant asked what his starving family were to do, and the guardian recommended him to go to London and state the matter to the Magistrates of this office. Applicant walked up to London on Saturday morning, and made the application as recommended. Mr. CONANT asked the applicant if the Woolwich overseer had refused to relieve him, after being told that he had slept in Woolwich ? - - Applicant answered in the affirmative. He had slept in Woolwich with his family for the last three nights, and his wife had pawned the gown off her back to raise the price of a night's lodging. Mr. CONANT said it appeared a case of very great hardship, but he had no power whatever to interfere. The applicant asked what he was to do. His wife, six children, and himself, were actually in a state of absolute starvation. Mr. CON ANT could do nothing except order the applicant to receive a shilling from the poor.box, and to advise him to return to Woolwich and re new his a pplication to the relieving overseer until something was done for him. The man thankfully received the money and went away. UNION-HALL. William George Bates, a clerk in the employment of Messrs. Smith and Co., wharfingers, Cotton's-wharf, Tooley street, was brought before Mr. Jeremy, charged with al tering the amounts of advertisement tickets, and defrauding his employers. Mr. Smith, jun., of the above firm, stated that the prisoner was a clerk in their employ, and that it was a part of his duty to go round to the different newspapers, for the purpose of having the firm's advertisements inserted in those publica tions. The charge that we prefer against the prisoner (pro ceeded the complainant) is for having altered certain receipts or tickets for advertisements, which he was employed to take for insertion in some of the daily newspapers, and obtaining a larger sum of money from us than had been paid by him for such advertisements. The complainant here produced a considerable number of newspaper tickets, and said that they had been altered by the prisoner, so as to make it ppear that he had been charged a much greater price for each insertion than be really had paid. Amongst the tickets were those of the Shipping Gazette, the Morning Chronicle, and other journals. Mr. JEREMY asked the prisoner what he had to say in an swer to the charge. The prisoner then gave the following explanation :—I have been in the habit of altering the amounts marked in the tickets, and have explained it to my employer's cashier, with whose knowledge I did it. There is ten shillings owing at the Morning Chronicle ; I sent up last week to that office for them to insert the intended sailing of the Eclipse steamer on Tuesday and Thursday in the last week. I told them that I would pay them when I came that way. I should have paid and when I put in the advertisement I should have t d h iv e i rn ded that expense on the other receipts that I might re ceive at any of the other offices at some future time. Many advertisements I have paid for myself, and have afterwards added the amounts on the other receipts. I hay e also paid them as being advertised in those papers. There is also I ls. owing at the Shipping Gazette, I should very likely have charged in the same way, though the advertisements were not inserted by me. The complainant said that the discovery of the manner in which the prisoner was going on had not been found out until within the last few days, when the erasures on the newspaper tickets were distinguished. He added, that if the prisoner were remanded for a few days, the most unquestionable proofs would be adduced that the alterations he had made in the amounts on each ticket had not been sanctioned by any person in their employ. Mr. JEREMY said that, should the alleged charge be proved against the accused, it would amount to one of forgery for it appeared that he had altered the figures on eac h ticket, so as to make it appear that he had paid away an infinit e ly larger sum of money than he really had done, an d b y which artifice he had defrauded his employers. Remanded until next Friday. IMPORTANT SAVING IN SEED WIIEAT.---It has been stated that if dibbling wheat, as practised in Norfolk, Suffolk, and some other counties, was generally adopted, full 10,000,000 bushels of seed might be saved on the 4,000,000 acres of wheat grown annually in England and Scotland ; and, allowing eight bushels to each person, would support 1,250,000 persons, who, if employed in weeding the crops, might double them. STATE OF TRADE. (From tile feeds. Mercury. TRADE OF LEEDS.—Both on Saturday and on Tuesday there was but a very thin supply of fresh made goods brought to the Cloth-halls, and in consequence, less business was done; and the stocks on hand at the close of the markets were left very low. Although business is rather dull in the warehouses, there has been a little more stir with the shipping houses. BRADFORD MARKET, TIIURSDAT.—The piece market con tinues in a very flat condition, yet not more so than is usual at this season of the year. The manufacturers still complain that they are doing no good by making pieces ; still the de mand for yarn continues good, and prices remain firm. It seems, as far as we can learn, that new channels have been opened for the merchandise of the spinners ; and this serves to keep their mills employed, although the staple manufacture of the town is certainly not in a thriving state. The market is still sustained, b th as regards demand and prices; indeed a slight advance is now mere general, and it is thought the reluctance of growers to sell unless higher prices are offered, will tend to keep the supply comparatively thin in this market. HALIFAX MARKET, Nov. 10.—Our market to-day has been well attended by merchants, who have bought pretty freely. Much more business would have been transacted had not ma nufacturers held out for a considerable advance; a partial one they obtained, and if they hold out a little longer it is pro bable they will obtain a remunerating price upon every de scription► of lastings, which has not been the case for a long time. The Yarn Market is better. The late advance on Wool is fully maintained to-day. Spinners, however, specu late but little, thinking it prudent to hold moderate stocks, at the present high price of Wool. Middle wethers arc quoted at 16/ per pack. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, NOV. 9. —We have a steady and regular demand for all descriptions of combing as well as short Wools this week, and fully maintain the late advances in them. YORK WOOL MARKET, Nov. 8. A very few sheets of Wool were shown today, but there being several buyers in attendance, some business was done in the Wools in ware houses, at no alteration in prices. REPORT OF THE WOOLLEN TRADE FOR THE MONTH OF OCTOBER. Nov. I.—We have to record more favourably of October than the preceding month ; though it is a rare occurrence for the later months of the autumn to excel the earlier. The variation, this year, is unquestionably owing to the arrival of considerable orders from America, and especially by the Great Western. In the home market—that is—in the provincial districts, a fair, but by no means extensive business has been done, but in the metropolis trade has been, on the whole, flat, and below the average of the season. This may perhaps be attributed to the circumstance of the wholesale houses having bought freely early in the season, and being unwilling to buy, except for mere assortment, until the advance in the price of wool shall have stood the ordeal of the winter months. The Irish buyers, in general, have made considerable purchases, although they have given the advance on the lower qualities with great reluctance, and have taken less of them tha , - they intended; preferring to work off their old stocks, and wait the result of a few months, like the London buyers. The stock of balk cloths has been greatly lower during the month, and the assortment is now very deficient. As an unavoidable consequence of the briskness of demand in the halls, wool has risen in price, from 71 to 10 per cent. during the month, and is now held at prices certainly not JO per cent. under the highest limit of 1835 and 1836. From the tone of the market, and the disposition of the holders, we should not be surprised to see the limit of those years equalled, before the Ist of February next. With the prospect of such an advance before them, even merely as a probability, we need not say that the manufacturers have difficult cards to play. They will do well to examine carefully the probable extent of the demand for goods or the next three months, and to regulate their production of them by the result of that inquiry. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, Nov. 10. There has been a steady demand for cotton today from the trade. The sales are 4,000 to 5,000 bags, viz., Pernams, 84d. to 91d. ; Maranhams, Bd. to sid.; Swats, 41-d. to 5 d. ; and Americans, 6d. to 81d. per lb. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Hampshire Telegraph.) PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 10.—The Espoir, 10, arrived at Fal mouth on Thursday, in ten days from Lisbon. The last information from Quebec (Oct. 18) states that the Inconstant frigate would leave that city on the Ist of Novem ber, with the Countess of Durham and family, and part of the suite, for the Chesapeake, where she was to take on board the Earl of Durham, who would quit Canada on the 27th for Washington, and thence to the 'place of his embarkation. A letter from Constantinople of the 16th ult. states that the united squadrons, under Sir Robert Stor:ford and Ahmed Dacha, remained at anchor in the road of Vourla. The Sultan recently sent the decoration of Nishaa Istifar to our Admiral, in token, we may presume, of the satisfaction with which his Highness witnessed the mutual good understanding which has existed between the two naval commanders. The same letter adds, that "on the 11th of September, Captain Lee, aide-de camp to the Lord High Admiral, arrived on board a steamer, wiLla despatches for the Ottoman Government, and sailed on the 15th. with Capt. F. Moresby, of her Majesty's ship Talavera. who accompanied Capt. Lee from the fleet, on his return to his port. Previous to Capt. Lee's departure he was invited to a private audience of the Sultan, to whom he presented some drawings he had made of the evolutions of the two fleets. His Impe rial Majesty appeared delighted with the work, and accom panied the expression of his satisfaction by the gift to Captain Lee of a splendid snuff. box, enriched with diamonds. The Sultan gave his own steam- boat, the Stamboul, to convey them to their respective sessels. Captain Lee is the son of Sir J T. Lee, of Bedhampton. The Tyne frigate is lying off The rapia, at the disposal of Lord Ponsonby." Three Commanders have been sent by the Admiralty to Sir Robert Stopford's fleet, to be employed in assisting in the navigation of the Turkish squadron. Her Majesty's ship Colombia was at Grenada on the 15th of September. The Partridge arrived at Stornoway, from Portsmouth, on the 22d of October, having made the tour of all the ports in the Orkney and Shetland Islands, attending the herring fishery, &c. The Melville, from Ascension, for Acra, was spoken with on the 4th of September, in lat. 2. 0. S. long. 12. 0. W. The Forester sailed from Simon's Bay on the 30th of August, to the wreck of the Duke of Northum berland Indianian. The Daphne, 20, is ready for commissioning ; but it is un certain if a Commander or a Captain will be put into her. The Thunderer, 84, it is reported, will shortly be commis sioned. The Revenge, 78, will be taken out of dock on the 19th inst., and it is said will be commissioned. As the Winchester frigate was moving into dock, at Chat barn, a few days since, a shipwright, of the name of Rich, was jerked into the water by the surging of one of the guys; not being able to swim, he would have been drowned but for the humane gallantry of Mr. Laire, one of the assistants of the yards, who unhesitatingly jumped off the jetty with his clothes on, and kept Rich above water till a boat could reach them. The Barossa transport, with a detachment of the 89th Re giment on board for the West Indies, put back to Spithead on Monday, after contending fourteen days with strong ad verse winds, for water and provisions. The Diligence, naval transport, got on shore off Block house Fort on Monday afternoon.

PLYMOUTH, Nov. 10.—Her Majesty's ship L'.!y, 16, Com mander Reeve, is ordered to the Gambia and Sierra Leone, but will not sail until her complement of men is made up. Her Majesty's sloop Rose, Commander P. Christie, having a new bowsprit, and her deltas made good, went out of har bour on Monday into the Sound ; and sailed on Friday, for the N , rth Coast of Spain.
